If he decides to keep going I don’t see what or who can stop him before he has taken a considerable portion of Europe. I know nato has been training for such an eventuality for years, but the question is, is there sufficient equipment and men to stop them? How long will it take the U.S. to react and get numbers into the continent? They are capable of massive airlifts if the will is there. But Is it? Will we see American public opinion take the stance of their forefathers and ask why spill American blood in foreign wars? Has Americas gung-ho attitude changed after Vietnam? I’m sure we will be ok and that I’m being unduly pessimistic, but Russia frightens me. I admit it. They are as powerful as America on the ground and there isn’t an ocean for them to cross. And the last thing we want to see is atomic weapons involved - not even limited atomic weapons. And I’m probably wrong, but maybe this possibility is keeping nato from jumping in to protect Ukrainian. That would give the Russians an excuse to continue. Sorry lads, for this miserable outlook. I’m getting these doubts out there so those who are clever than me can shoot them down in flames and make me feel a little easier. The thought of China supporting Russia and bringing on their sattelite nations is a nightmare. Right lads, please demolish over imaginative speculations.
I don’t see any reason for Putin to stop at the western border of Ukraine either. But I think the Americans would come in to help us to kick his arse back to Moscow if he set foot in Europe.

if Europe falls to communism America becomes very isolated they know that.

I think he's clearly wanting to get back to the Soviet Union.

Yep. They didn't exactly condem Russia.

Aye they are proper on the fence, at least they didn’t fully back him.

China will continue to watch closely to see if they can get away with something similar. They did after all tell Taiwan only yesterday they are safe…pretty sure Putin told Ukraine that too less than a week ago.

Give Putin a feckin good kick in the bollocks, and say stay down or theres more after that.

Yeah it looks as if Putin (prostitute in french) has gone 'full tonto' the only thing that stops a bully is to fight back.

I am not sure how good and well equipped the Ukraine forces are?

For the Americans to engage it would require a president who is sentient , engaged and able. Clearly none of these are the case, which is one off the main reasons for the timing of this.

And, as those making decisions in the US at the moment are both unknown , untested and almost certainly on the left to a bit further left of politics there, no-one on should expect too much.

An aggressor attacks when his foes are weak. The US has never in it's history been weaker.

No it’s definitely not, my kids are ****ting themselves, putin threatening to press the red button on us

this is escalating into ww3 if not already
I honestly don't think he'd be stupid enough to go nuclear, at least I hope he isn't! He must know that to do so wouldn't just potentially wipe out a nation but the retaliation on Russia would be immeasurable.

I'm also confident in our defences against any form of nuclear strike as well tbh mate.

I’m not so sure, I believe that all super powers have probably underground islands and shuttles to space and totally don’t give a **** about anybody who have less than a million, my dad (rip @grandpops) had degrees in war and I can can tell you he would say this was it
